Baby Elephant

Q. Why did the elephant have big ears?
A. Because Noddy wouldn’t pay the ransom.
This is a baby Indian elephant. Except that a baby elephant should be called a calf. Strictly speaking. You can tell he’s an Indian elephant because he has small ears. In Africa, elephants have much bigger ears, which they use to keep themselves cool. And that sort of makes the big ears joke redundant. Strictly speaking.
